HC Deb 16 October 1946 vol 427 cc201-2W
Mr. D. J. Williams

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power it he has investigated the possibility of adopting a points system for miners to enable them to purchase additional consumer goods; and whether he is in a position to make a statement on the matter.

Sir S. Cripps

I have been asked to reply. Increased supplies of unrationed goods and a greater variety of rationed commodities are being provided for mining areas, but it has not been found practicable to provide miners with increased allocations of coupons for rationed goods.
